Forgive me if I missed the small print in The Times but, to my aghast, nowhere did I see I any reference to the rare event of the transit of Venus, which took place on June 5.

One presumes that many people have little idea where Venus lies in our constellation. The Times is such a powerful tool to enlighten us all, yet it missed informing readers about the transit.

Waiting and hoping for another transit! Forget it, the next one will take place in December 2117.
